Program overview:Launched in 2002, the FWA-Baruch Mentoring Program pairs outstanding Baruch students with FWA members who have at least 10 years’ business experience. The program helps young women launch their careers and develop soft skills that will help them succeed. Many mentors and students develop friendships that enrich both of their lives. We invite all Baruch women business and accounting majors with a 3.5 GPA and student leadership activities to apply. We typically have about 35 mentee-mentor pairs who work together for junior and senior years, and often remain friends for life.

The program’s core is one-to-one mentoring with an FWA member, plus six programs that complement classroom learning and the offerings of Baruch’s Starr Career Center. Mentees connect with FWA members at FWA events. With the generous support of BMO Capital Markets, the program also offers needs-based scholarships, study abroad support and women’s leadership conference participation.

We welcome new mentors who are FWA members with professional experience.

Why mentor? “Mentoring is such a life-enhancing experience,” says Betsy Werley, FWA program chair. “I’ve mentored five students, and with each one, I’ve contributed to her success, learned from her 20-something perspective and been inspired by her very different life experience.

Our students represent the future of New York City – it’s a privilege to be involved in their lives. This program exemplifies the FWA’s commitment to developing future leaders in financial services.”

“My hopes are to see my mentee benefit/flourish from my many life experiences. I so look forward to sharing with her as well as the professional guidance it will provide,” Mentor Marline Alexander commented.
